What is coaching?

Have you ever felt that you were trying to achieve greater degrees of success in both your personal and professional life?

Have you had dreams and goals but feel perpetually stalled when it comes to making progress towards fulfilling them?

Do you ever feel that your work life and your personal life are out of balance and you can’t seem to get any control?

These are all reasons why people seek the services of a life coach. In much the same way a professional athlete seeks the service of a coach in order to achieve their peek performance level, men and women seek life and career coaches to reach peak performance in many different aspects of their lives.

 Coaching is collaboration between a coach and a client with both partners working for the benefit of the client.  A coach offers support as the client moves forward towards achievement of their goals.

A coach provides a listening ear and works with the client forming a specific action plan to forward the client making the changes needed to reach their potential.

A coach is a powerful listener, ready to offer constructive feedback as well as thought provoking challenges to the client.

A coach offers a safe supportive environment for a client to make changes and explore opportunities.

A coach holds the client accountable to the goals and commitments they have set.

Coaching is not counseling, mentoring, or consulting.

 

Who should work with a coach?

If you are ready to take responsibility for making the changes in you life, you are good candidate for coaching.

If you are ready to stop tolerating all the things holding you back in life, you are a good candidate for coaching.

If you are ready to put yourself as well as your dreams and goals first, you are a good candidate for coaching.

If you are willing to make a minimum three month commitment to improving your life and achieving your dreams, you are a good candidate for coaching.

 

How does coaching work?

Coaching is done over the phone and while it can be tailored to fit the individual needs of the client it usually is comprised of 3 phone calls each month with the fourth week off for completing any assigned fieldwork.

Sessions last 1 hour, though I do not schedule clients back to back. This allows you the time you need to feel complete in any given session without feeling rushed. In between sessions I welcome any reasonable amount of phone calls or e-mails should a client require additional support.

Before our first session I will send you a welcome packet with my policies and procedures. We will schedule our first session. You are responsible for calling me or we can conduct sessions via Skype using the internet.

In our first session I will be gathering information from you as the client so that we may determine your personal action plan. Based on that information and any assessment tools we choose to use we will get started.

Feedback is an important component of coaching and I will be forwarding session notes following each scheduled session along with any fieldwork. I also depend on you, as the client offering your feedback as to what you require of me as your coach. This will insure you enjoy the best possible coaching experience.

 

What can you expect from coaching?

As a coaching client you can expect confidentiality. What you and I discuss in our coaching sessions stays private.

As a coaching client you can expect me to hold you to your commitments and your expressed goals.

As a coaching client you can expect a coach you puts your goals and dreams first.

As a coaching client you can expect encouragement and support as well as complete honesty.

As a coaching client you can expect to work towards building the life you want without judgment.
